So correct me if I'm wrong, all participants would need very similar racing bikes of equal performance and weight etc in order to participate successfully in such an activity.??
My take is that anyone could do the ride on any bike and at any pace they liked. But to ride in that particular group on that ride, you would need to maintain the group's pace and follow the group's norms.
